One of America's most notorious child kidnappers was stabbed by another prison inmate with knives named after his two young victims.Evil Michael Devlin is recovering from his injuries after being attacked at a prison in Missouri.
He was repeatedly stabbed by Troy Fenton, who called his two home made knives 'Shawn' and 'Ben' - the names of two boys kidnapped by Devlin.
The restaurant manager made international headlines in 2007 after a boy who went missing when he was 11 years old was found living with him.
Devlin had snatched Shawn Hornbeck as he cycled to a friend's house and kept him prisoner at his flat in the town of Kirkwood, Missouri.
The young boy was brainwashed by Devlin into believing his parents were dead and was repeatedly sexually abused by his abductor.
His parents never gave up hope of finding their son and had posted fliers in Kirkwood - unaware he was living about 60 miles from their own home.
Police found Hornbeck while they were looking for another missing boy, Ben Ownby, who had disappeared on his way home from school.
The 13-year-old was found with Devlin and Hornbeck then told police he had been kidnapped in 2002. Read More
